Fall Has Arrived, Which Means...Time To Start Predicting The Oscars!

Fall Has Arrived, Which Means...Time To Start Predicting The Oscars!

Summer is over. The Emmys have passed. Football season is starting. All of these things mean, of course, it's time to start boning up on your Oscar's predictions.

What? That's worse than Christmas shopping before Halloween, you say? Nay, we disagree: The art of preparing for, predicting, and having adequate conversation about the Oscars should be finely honed, and it is never too soon to start thinking about who will take the golden man home. And besides, it's fun.

So, instead of going the traditional "best actor/actress, yadda yadda" route, we've made the predictions based on the stuff we really want to know: Who might host? What would we like to see on the red carpet? Which ways will Woody Allen get out of not showing up again this year? Of course, the Oscars are nothing without dark horses, so share with us some surprising picks we might have overlooked. Go on. We dare you.
